suggestibility

Suggestibility refers to the tendency of individuals to accept and incorporate external information or suggestions into their own beliefs, memories, or behaviors. It is a cognitive process that can influence how we remember events or make decisions based on subtle cues from others, media, or the environment. For example, hearing a rumor about a shared experience might shape how we recall that event. In everyday life, suggestibility can affect eyewitness testimonies, advertising effectiveness, and even personal opinions, highlighting the impact of context and persuasion on our thinking.
